A leading voice in musical history, direction, performance and vocal training
Peter Giles is the author of many books, articles, scores and one novel, with another in preparation. His books on the countertenor voice have become acknowledged standard works of reference. He also wrote the sections on ‘Countertenor’ and ‘Falsetto’ for the Millennium edition of The New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians.
In 1995 he co-founded the Campaign for the Traditional Cathedral Choir (now the Traditional Cathedral Choir Association), dedicated to protecting and promoting a unique male-voice tradition dating back over a thousand years.
Alongside his musical career and literary life, Peter Giles is a trained visual artist with various exhibitions and commissions to his name.
His forthcoming second novel, He that Looks on Glass, is a vivid exercise in experimental literature combining text, visuals and striking graphic design. A limited edition, signed and numbered, is planned.
